Bottled as Czech pilsner. Pours deep gold into a pilsner glass. White head recedes to hug rim. Honey and bread aromas. Off toasted nuts upfront turning to butterscotch and caramel in the lasting finish.

Draught pint at Redbones, 12/3/05. Pours a very clear hay-yellow, simple, with a small white head that eventually recedes to a ring. Spotty lacing is quite present, plenty of carbonation. Aroma of dry, farmy hops, light grass and strong herbs. A distinct fruitiness (dry nectarines, peaches, lemons) makes me question the yeast, but it fits in with the honey and strong hoppiness. The flavor is immediately fruity, with unripened nectarines and peaches and a slight touch of apples and vanilla. Saazy hops and a fair amount of fresh, chewy yeast add light complexity, while the malt flavor takes over. Honey, light white grapes sweetness and lots of grainy, lightly husky pale malt grains on the end. Carbonation is moderate, adding some biting texture, while the malt never gets terribly sweet. But for an American pils, the hops and yeast, albeit questionably lagerish in nature, make for a flavorful experience, whether it be a lager or ale. Tight, but lightly sharp carbonation and a lightly grainy feel, with plenty of yeast apparency.
